DEPTH

bored of the sealine
tired of mucking about
of paddling in the shallows
at the edge of the great ocean
i go deeper
i immerse myself
i breathe in deeply
dive beneath the surface
kick hard
swim down
and then down some more
to the uncharted waters
the dark caves
where the strange sea creatures dwell
to the bottom
where the lost cities lie half-buried by shifting sediments
there i gaily scoop up handfuls of facts from the sea bed
discard the useless opinions
swim upwards
and reemerge
staggering out of the sea
onto the beach of familiarity
